Lettuce wraps stuffed with venison, cabbage and a sprinkling of fresh herbs scream spring to me! After a long winter with plenty of snow, we are so ready for spring here in the DC area. My Sunday Supper team is doing a ‘Stuff, Roll and Wrap” theme and I am bringing my venison lettuce wraps. I love lettuce wraps and have experimented many different combos! They are specially great when I want to detox or eat low carb.   I am currently on vacation in Arizona touring the Grand Canyon and I know I will be making a lot of lettuce wraps next week after I get back.  It’s the perfect dish to help me get back to my pre -vacation weight: Healthy meat wrapped in lettuce leaves ! This venison lettuce wrap infused with fresh parsley, cilantro and ginger is one of my favorites! Venison is a hot favorite in our home and we are fortunate to have a family friend who give us a whole deer every year! Venison is a healthy, lean, red meat which is lower in fat than other red meats. Thanks to deer who move so much they don’t store too much fat! I make the venison mixture ahead of time and then stuff the lettuce with the meat! Super yummy, healthy and perfect for that time you want to cut calories and eat low carb.  My Venison lettuce wraps are paleo, low carb and gluten free!
